I just came acrosss it while training my sm. I was finding buy using doubled cupped once my legs got to the pole I didn't feel safe. In this grip feel totsly secure and works. well with doing a bk hook into sm. I finally got rid of the wrist trouble. I t stopped about a week ago your tip to pull more with top arm worked great :) xxx
I'm glad the grip worked so well for you!
This is what I am going to try first when I get lessons again! I have heard good things about this grip!!!
It takes a bit more abdominal strength at the beginning of the move, but it's nice and secure at the top! I came up with the variation one day when Amber (fleur) was over at my place, we didn't know what to call it soooo. There ya go.

In glad I found it. I was using cupped grip when learning sm. But I found when I got higher up I didn't feel to safe. So played about with my grip. Thenst class my instructor said thats a very strange grip. Then when I looked round and seen no one else using it I was stood thinking OK I'm a bit strange haha. But then she told me its a great grip for back hook to shoulder mount but that's the only time she seen its used. But I think its a great grip and feels so safe :) xxx
